I have been honored over the years to work with hundreds of patients who had ADHD symptoms. Many knew that they weren’t like the other kids in the class as children, or like the other colleagues at work or students in college. They had problems with concentration, focus, organization, completing tasks, procrastination, losing or misplacing things, were easily distracted etc. Some went online and read about the bias against medication and tried all the other strategies to combat their symptoms. They used herbs, Chinese medications, naturopathic medication, increased exercise, yoga, biofeedback, fish oil and other modalities and found while some were more helpful than others, they still had the same problems. In desperation, they came to me and we discussed their options. Some tried medication and found it to be miraculous in the changes they were able to make. One patient this past week indicated “now I know that I am not stupid or lazy”, another marveled at how well they were able to stay on task and complete things that had piled up for years saying “I accomplished more in three weeks than I had in three years before”. They describe stories of spouses, partners, co-workers, friends, classmates, and teachers noticing huge differences and wondering what had changed. Of course medication may not be best for each and every person, but if you can relate to any of the above mentioned symptoms, I encourage you to contact me and discuss your situation. I welcome your comments and questions about ADHD.
